No, it's not.

There's a summary, with links to individual articles that cite studies. I still take a supplement because I've been diagnosed as deficient and don't get much sun.

teh goddamn 5Gs!

No its not. Were just in a Vitamin D era. Before it was a Vitamin C craze, before that Vitamin E, etc. All it really translates to is who has the money to push a fear-mongoring agenda to make the most profit.

Its important but there is no singular substance we can imbibe for to cure and prevent everything.

Thinking like this is an easy to to be lazy lazy about health. "Oh I can eat all that Pizza and drink soda. I get plenty of Vitamin D so I am good"

going outside in the sun doesnt cost any money.

Nutritional deficiencies of all sorts, not just Vitamin D, mental an emotional stress, toxins in the body. These things play a major role in your health.

Going outside and getting fresh air does wonders compared to holing up in ones home or apartment all the time.

Vitamin C works wonders, it's just that, you're better off getting it from actually eating citrus fruit than taking a supplement. I don't feel like going into the whole explanation but it has to do with the vitamin c (ascorbic acid) in fruit being bonded to bioflavonoids that cause the vitamin C to be released in your intestines instead of your stomach. When this is taken as an isolated substance in a supplement which nature didn't intend, it doesn't have the same effect.

It's why taking a Vitamin C pill won't cure scurvy, but eating a bunch of oranges will.

Processed sugar in soda not to mention the chemical flavorings and phosphoric acid instantly weaken the immune system, so this post is absolutely correct.

It's more than just one particular molecule, you need the whole spectrum of vitamins and minerals. Minerals are the sparkplugs of life, creating thousands of electrical reactions and responses in the body. You can't supplement them because most supplements are synthetic, do you no good and are a waste of cash. You have to get the full spectrum of nutrition from eating properly. It really is that simple and your immune system will be ready to tackle anything.

I'm not afraid of the virus because if it has a 1-3% chance of killing someone eating the standard processed foods diet, I guarantee there's a 0% chance it can touch me. No, that doesn't mean I'm out there being wreckless in crowds of people. I'm still isolating out of consideration for everyone around me that doesn't have a proper immune function but they could spray me and inject me with the virus and it would be quickly killed before it can replicate enough you make me sick/kill me.

Also, keep it mind fear and stress completely wreck immune function. Don't sit at the TV all day going nuts and being afraid of the virus. It only increases your odds of getting sick. Be smart and you'll be fine.

@ phantom just saw your post. Good to see other people on here that understand nutrition and especially the power of vitamin C.

I'm sorry man, but this is dangerously wrong information and I don't recommend anyone follow it. Eating well is important, but it's not going to give you immunity to COVID-19.

Yeah this isn't true at all. Is this the new right wing defense? Yeah being healthier helps you, but you are literally saying you are immune to any harm, and that's the biggest load of shit I have ever heard. You were making some good points, and then fell off a cliff with this shit. Being healthy and having a strong immune system is something most people should work to have, but to think it makes you immune is just laughably misinformed.

...no.
